What is mutually exclusive events ?

If two events can not occur together at same time, then the events are called mutually exclusive.

If two events are mutually exclusive, then,

P(A∪B) = P(A)+P(B)

And If two events are not mutually exclusive, then,

P(A∪B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

What is the required probability ?

In central high school,

15% of the students take Spanish language = P(A) (say)

12% of the students take French language = P(B) (say)

& 4% of the students take both the languages = P(A∩B)

Since some of students take both languages, so this is not mutually exclusive.

The probability that the student takes Spanish or French is P(A∪B).

∴ P(A∪B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

               = 15%+12%-4%

               = [tex]\frac{15}{100}+\frac{12}{100}-\frac{4}{100}[/tex]

               = [tex]\frac{15+12-4}{100}[/tex]

               = [tex]\frac{23}{100}[/tex] = 23%

Hence, Required probability is 23%

Answer only. What is the greatest possible sum of the digits of a six-digit number that is a multiple of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11?

Answers

Answer: 36

The LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 is 2 × 3 × 2 × 5 × 7 × 2 × 3 × 11 = 27720.

A multiple of 27720 will end in 0, and the sum of its digits will be a multiple of 9.

The largest 6-digit number which is multiple of 9 with last digit of 0 is 999990, and the sum of its digits is 45. 45 is not a multiple of 27720, and there is no other way to get a digit sum of 45.

We now look at the next biggest multiple of 9, 9 × 4

= 36.

The largest 6-digit multiple of 27720 is 27720 × 36 = 997920, and the sum of its digits is 36.

Suppose that the mean number of chocolate chips in 30 cookies is 19 chocolate chips. Explain what this means.

Answers

Answer: It means that there are 570 chocolate chips in all the 30 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean also referred to as the average of a data set is calculated by adding all numbers in a data set and dividing by number of values in the set.

Since the mean number of chocolate chips in 30 cookies is 19 chocolate chips, this means that there are:

Mike can plow a field in 12 hours and his brother Phil can plow it in 15 hours. How long will it take them to plow it if they use two plows and work together?

Answers

Answer:

6.66 hours, that is, 6 hours and 40 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mike can plow a field in 12 hours, we plows 1/12 of the field each hour.

If Phil can plow a field in 15 hours, we plows 1/15 of the field each hour.

So if they are working together, they can plow (1/12) + (1/15) of the field each hour, that is:

(1/12) + (1/15) = (5 + 4) / 60 = 9 / 60 = 3 / 20 = 1 / 6.66

So if they work together, they can plow the field in 6.66 hours, that is, 6 hours and 40 minutes.

Fran must work at least 17 hours per week to meet her goal. c. Fran must work at least 18 hours per week to meet her goal. d. Fran will not be able to reach her goal.

Answers

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer for the given problem above would be option B.

⇒ Fran must work 17 hours per week to meet her goal.

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Now, According to the given details,

Fran works 15 hours per week for $225 which makes it $15 per hour.

Hence, If she adds another 2 hours per week to make it 17 hours,

Then, she will earn $255 dollars per week.

Now, since she is saving $40 dollars plus the two hours which is $30, a total of $70 per week of savings, multiplied by 20 weeks, then, she will be able to get $1,400.

Hence, The correct answer for the given problem above would be option B.

⇒ Fran must work 17 hours per week to meet her goal.

Answers

Answer: 77 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the stock decrease by 23.13%.

What is Percent Decrease?

The difference between starting and final numbers is the percentage drop. It displays a percentage loss of value compared to the original regardless of the units. The difference between the initial and final amounts is the amount of decline.

Given:

The price of the stock was $35.48.

Then The price of the stock is $27.36.

So, the decrease in amount= 35.48 - 27.36 = 8.12

Then, percent decrease

= 8.12/ 35.48 x 100

= 23.13%

Hence, the percent decrease is 23.13%.
